Frequently Asked Questions

- Our Rock Up and Pop Up kiosk service is a stylish, flexible and customisable end-to-end retailing solution - we can assist with a branded kiosk, retail space, merchandising, business planning and staffing.
- Mobile kiosks or RMUs offer a great platform to get the best out of your business. They are a convenient and flexible retailing option.
- If you already have a kiosk or are looking to build one, we offer a range of mall space sizes and locations. We encourage you to speak to us before you start the kiosk design so we can advise on the venue’s design criteria.
- If you are looking for a larger space, it is also possible to open up a pop-up shop in an inline unit. Please contact us for current opportunities.
- Who can be a retailer?Our pop-up retail service is tailored to our individual clients, which includes start-up businesses, established brands and online retailers. We also offer inline retailers the opportunity to expand their customer base. We do this by directing shoppers to their inline store, promoting seasonal product lines and/or attracting a different demographic than usual.
- Are there benefits to using a centre kiosk/RMU?Our integrated kiosk service will allow you to test new products and services in a low risk environment. The flexibility of our short-term leases can give you the confidence you need to get started with kiosk retailing! Our mobile kiosks/RMUs allow you to meet face to face with prospective customers, which is particularly useful if you are an online business. Kiosks can help to increase brand awareness as well as drive consumer engagement. To use one of our kiosks, please contact us to book pop-up retail space at High Chelmer.

- Photographic ID
- Proof of Address
- Rights to Work in the UK Evidence
- Are there any additional costs/business rates?Power usage is generally included in the rent, however excessive requirements may result in an additional charge. Should the access to water and drainage be required an additional charge is likely, you can discuss this with an Account Manager. You may be liable for business rates depending on the rateable value of your space and the size of your business.
- How much will it cost?The cost to retail in a shopping centre varies depending on the retail set-up, product line you are selling, and the mall space chosen.
